saw a cop, (no helmet, no jacket, no boots) the other day on a busa that said police down the side of it at 2351 and 45s, could not tell where he was from though, they are also using a white charger w/ white reflective letters on the side up and down 45 in the s.e. area very hard to see these letters until your right upon them

I saw a pair of scooters ridng down Wallisville and when I got close enough they were HPD!!!! LOL!! I saw the rider rider next to me checking my bike out but what really got me was the male rider of the pair. Big 260 pound guy on a little Kymco scooter or something close to it...
The reflective vests they were wearing had *RAPID RESPONSE TEAM*

Hey Chris! were the scooter riding cops fit my description??

all leo bikes are privately owned by the officers. dont know the exact details harley also has a program with officers in which they buy back their bikes every 2 years for what they paid for it. the reason you see so many used road kings police (different seat, and suspension i think) for sale at stubbs telephone.

haven't seen that yet. But I will say that its a mixed bag. Each bike is personally owned and insured. The dept gives an allowance for maintenance and use. We have HD Road Kings and Honda Goldwings making up about 90 % of the solo units. The about 1 BMW and a few Honda ST 1300's. A few other guys have some other metric cruisers converted over for duty use.

I had been wondering about that... someone was telling me about how he was going to get this old Kawi 900 police bike or some such for his first bike, and thought it was weird he could have it since it isn't debadged or anything and he isn't a leo yet. Turns out who ever owned it is/was a cop.

The people on the scooters aren't police officers. They help out with traffic control on anything major that happens on the roadways and try to clear minor accident out of moving lanes of traffic.

Roger that!
Ive seen them doing just that. So are they city employees , just not police officers??
